I had 2 roommates my junior year of college. 1 of them developed a habit or already had one, but decided he wouldn't shower very often. The kid smelled soooooo bad. I was just happy my room was in the finished basement and my other roommate had to live on the same floor as him haha. He would keep his door shut to not smell the kid haha. The kid would maybe MAYBE shower once a week. This was after going out drinking, smoking, working out, having sex, etc. Just about you name it and he did it without shower afterwards. Needless to say my good roommate and I moved out and didn't invite him to our new place.

If you're Engineering or CS major...get used to it because it will follow you throughout the industry experience...
BTW, went to India in December, and it did bother me at first, but quickly got used to it and never bothered me again...
It is also the spices they use with their food that emit smell through the skin...

Oh it was downright disgusting. We would laugh when we'd finally hear the shower turn on. The try our hardest to remember the last time we heard him shower. His hair was all greecy, it was just nasty. Our couch that was different shades of white turned into different shades of light brown by the end of the year because he and his equally disgusting friend that decided he was sleeping over almost everynight(on the couch) would do nothing but sit there. Thinking back, I can't believe I allowed myself to live in such conditions.

We had some dirty/smelly people in and out of boot camp. It was almost humurous that we had to educate grown men on hygeine. I was thinking to myself, "All those years before you met us no one mentioned being clean to you"?

An instance stands out in my mind when I asked one of the dirty guys if he took showers. He quickly responded that he went in his shower and rinsed off everyday. At this point I realized that I had to teach him about this invention called "soap", target areas on the body on which to use this "soap", and the need to replace said "soap" when it runs out. Many inspections later, he finally got it.

Some people just dont realize it. It's kinda gross. I always wear deodrant/bodyspray and cologne. It's not to cover up the smell since I shower eveyday, it's just so that I smell even better than just soap. hehehe

Many times with people of middle eastern or Indian descent, it's a cultural issue. They just don't know they smell "bad" because they're used to it. They have different hygiene than we do, and their diet plays a HUGE part. Curry, in particular, is emitted through the skin, and is VERY pungent.

It's not so much curry, but what they use to make curry....Cumin is the culprit here, buy some and smell it you'll know exactly what I mean...

I would hate to see the kind of girl that is going to have sex with a guy that hasn't showered in a week.
